Be tolerant of the human race. Your whole family belongs to it -- and some of your spouse's family does too.

14.
One has but to observe a community of beavers at work in a stream to understand the loss in his sagacity, balance, co-operation, competence, and purpose which Man has suffered since he rose up on his hind legs. He began to chatter and he developed Reason, Thought, and Imagination, qualities which would get the smartest group of rabbits or orioles in the world into inextricable trouble overnight.
Thurber, James

Blake, William

23.
Human beings, for all their pretensions, have a remarkable propensity for lending themselves to classification somewhere within neatly labeled categories. Even the outrageous exceptions may be classified as outrageous exceptions!
Reichmann, W.J.

24.
In our civilization, men are afraid that they will not be men enough and women are afraid that they might be considered only women.
Reik, Theodor

Not until humanity itself dies will art die.

Apollinaire, Guillaume

35.
The world of men is dreaming, it has gone mad in its sleep, and a snake is strangling it, but it can't wake up.

There are realities we all share, regardless of our nationality, language, or individual tastes. As we need food, so do we need emotional nourishment: love, kindness, appreciation, and support from others. We need to understand our environment and our relationship to it. We need to fulfill certain inner hungers: the need for happiness, for peace of mind for wisdom.
Walters, J. Donald

50.
The human race was always interesting and we know by its past that it will always continue so, monotonously.
